A VERY FINE LEATHER BOUND STATIONARY WRITING BOX Lock inscribed Bramah, London, inkwell inscribed Berry’s Patent, plate inscribed MARC, March 25 1872 Item # 806PHI26 An unusually fine writing box from the third quarter of the 19th century, this stationary box is exquisitely crafted using top-grain black leather and high quality custom brass hardware throughout. The quality is self-evident and this box would have been a very expensive acquisition during the period. It is unmarked, but was likely made in collaboration with Bramah; though they specialized in the manufacture and retailing of “unbreakable” locks, they offered an extensive catalog of exceptional writing and stationary accessories with their locks. This box opens first to reveal three white alabaster writing tablets surrounded by leather, providing a hard surface for writing note cards while giving access to the pen tray, inkwell and match box for sealing the envelopes. The upper portion of the box remains upright to allow access to the fitted storage slots, within which letters and supplies can easily be organized. Tiny brass tabs release the lower compartment lid and a small leather swatch allows access to the upper compartment. The lock is stamped BRAMAH LONDON...

Meet the Queen The public and private life of the world’s most famous monarch Born in 1926, married in 1947, crowned as Queen in 1953, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has carried out her duty for more than six decades. TASCHEN celebrates her remarkable royal story with a new edition of Her Majesty, a definitive photographic collection of her public and private life. Brimming with history, tradition, glamour, and culture, the book spans the Queen’s early years right through to her most recent state tours and ceremonies. Along the way, we trace her coming of age during World War II; her marriage, motherhood, and coronation; her encounters with such icons of their age as the Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, and JFK; and her extensive international travels. We visit the spectacular royal palaces and enjoy the infectious celebration of royal weddings and jubilees. We witness the elegance of official portraits, and the tenderness and humor of informal and family moments. As much a showcase of top photographers as a royal celebration, Her Majesty includes the work of such luminaries as Cecil Beaton, Studio Lisa, Dorothy Wilding...

London Calling A photographic journey through the history of this epic city Samuel Johnson famously said that: “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.” London’s remarkable history, architecture, landmarks, streets, style, cool, swagger, and stalwart residents are pictured in hundreds of compelling photographs sourced from a wide array of archives around the world. London is a vast sprawling metropolis, constantly evolving and growing, yet throughout its complex past and shifting present, the humor, unique character, and bulldog spirit of the people have stayed constant. This book salutes all those Londoners, their city, and its history. In addition to the wealth of images included in this book, many previously unpublished, London’s history is told through hundreds of quotations, lively essays, and references from key movies, books, and records. From Victorian London to the Swinging ’60s; from the Battle of Britain to Punk; from the Festival of Britain to the 2012 Olympics; from the foggy cobbled streets to the architectural masterpieces of the millennium; from rough pubs to private drinking clubs; from royal weddings to raves, from the charm of the East End to the wonders of Westminster; from Chelsea girls to Hoxton hipsters; from the power to glory: in page after page of stunning photographs, reproduced big and bold like the city itself, London at last gets the photographic tribute it deserves. Photographs by: Slim Aarons, Eve Arnold, David Bailey, Cecil Beaton, Bill Brandt, Alvin Langdon Coburn, Anton Corbijn, Terence Donovan, Roger Fenton, Bert Hardy, Evelyn Hofer, Frank Horvat, Tony Ray-Jones, Nadav...
